Danish baby advice

Question

I was adding siblings to a Danish ancestor and had delicate questions about this infant.  I wish to know more about the baby; did he pass away or was stillborn?  Can one confirm boy or girl?

Thank you, Carol-Lynn

Answer 1

The priest forgot to write the name - no indication of male/female. Child was in church 17 Aug 1749 so not stillborn. Will check if I can find anything about the family in my lists - no luck sorry.

But a better scanning of the birth record Hjemmedøbt 11 Aug 1749 Allerup, Hellevad, Dronninglund, Hjørring, Danmark side 35

Answer 2

Here is my feeble attempt at a translation.  The question marks mean that I'm not sure what the letter or letters are or that I'm not sure of the spelling that I have or if I have the abbreviation decoded correctly.

d. 11 Augusti <the 11th of August>

?ler Morthen Jensøns og Kiersten Nielsdaatters barn fra Allerup ?formedelt? svaghed inddøbt og kaldet ?idunrun der ?il var Anders Christensøn af S: Landvad og Jens Sudergaard af Allerup

ATTEMPTED TRANSLATION OF THIS PART

August 11th

??? <This is probably his status or job title of some sort.> Morthen Jensøn's and Kiersten Nielsdaatter's child from Allerup ??? weakness(?) baptized and called ??? [I would expect this to be the child's name.] there ??? were Anders Christensøn of South(?) Landvad and Jens Sudergaard of Allerup

DANISH, NEXT PARAGRAPH

d. 17 ?u?s Daaben confirmerit ?Su?ept:  Inger Nielsdaatter af Allerup, fadderen Anders Christensøn af S: Landvad Anders Pedersøn af Allerup, Niels Jensøn af N: Landvad og Maren Nielsdaatter af Allerup.

ATTEMPTED TRANSLATION OF THIS PARAGRAPH

the 17th ??? the baptism confirmed ???:  Inger Nielsdaatter of Allerup, sponsors Anders Christensøn of South(?) Landvad[,] Anders Pedersøn of Allerup, Niels Jensøn of North(?) Landvad and Maren Nielsdaatter of Allerup.

<The note on the side is in Latin.>

Eodem die Introduceret Kiersten Nielsdaatter

[On the same day introduced/brought in (in the sense of returning to church, I believe) Kiersten Nielsdaatter <the mother>]

The information concerns Hellevad parish in Hjørring amt in northern Denmark.  Allerup and Landvad are place names within the Hellevad parish (https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Hellevad_Parish,_Hj%C3%B8rring,_Denmark_Genealogy).  My father's father came from just north of there.

Hellevad and Skaeve--my grandfather's area--are right next to each other (https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/amt9).

Best wishes to you!

Thank you so much Kathy for your help in translating these records.  I am going to study your links about the place names also.  Your translation is a hundred times better than mine :)

Thanks, Carol-Lynn
